This Practice Note This Practice Note examines the time periods applied in the procedural handling and case management of employment tribunal proceedings after a claim has been presented. It explains the different approaches to calculating deadlines, including fixing calendar dates, specifying the time of day by which a step must be taken, the approach to non-working days, and counting days running from or before a specified event. It also considers how time limits under the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 (ET Rules 2024), SI 2204/1155, practice directions and employment tribunal orders can be extended or abridged. The tribunal’s jurisdiction to entertain claims is created by statute (eg the unfair dismissal jurisdiction derives from the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996)). The time limits for submitting such claims are likewise found in the applicable statute (eg the three month limit for bringing an unfair dismissal claim, adjusted where appropriate by the early conciliation requirement, appears in ERA 1996, s 111). These jurisdictional time limits for initially presenting a claim to...

Completing a Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) proposal form is a time‑consuming exercise and demands assembling a large volume of information about your practice. On its own, though, it may not give you an adequate platform to present your firm to the market. Considering that PII often ranks among your largest single expenses, there are times when producing a compelling presentation for insurers more than repays the time invested. This Practice Note explores whether you should include a risk management submission within your renewal presentation and its likely contents. Should you include a risk management submission? You should consider adding a risk management submission to your renewal if your practice: has a poor or below‑average claims record (by number and/or value of claims) has recently completed, or is about to undertake, a restructure or merger has seen a recent shift in risk profile, eg adding new practice areas, a significant rise in fee income, or other major changes has been the subject...

Dental notes A frequent stumbling block for lawyers handling dental negligence matters is the language and nomenclature found in the records. The presentation of notes has altered over the years and continues to develop. Paper records Up to around 2000, only a small number of practices kept computerised files. The vast majority of clinicians documented care on NHS‑derived standardised buff cards (FP25). Unsurprisingly, handwriting was often poor, and specialist terms compounded the challenge of interpretation. The buff shade significantly hampers photocopying. Where entries prove illegible, practitioners should return to the practice to obtain clearer, legible reproductions, using a colour copier if required. Lost or misplaced cards were not unusual, and often a second set of notes might exist. Many practices wrote the card number at the head of the FP25, and continuity across the sequence ought to be verified. At times, neither the solicitor nor the expert can reliably discern the content. In that event, it is proper for a claimant solicitor to seek clarification from the...
